Every night my dream? s the same
Same old city with a different name
Men are coming to take me away
I don? t know why but I know I can? t stay
There? s a weight that? s pressing down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can? t swim across a river so deep
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don? t know where
They don? t know when it? s coming, when it? s coming
There? s this fear I keep so deep
Knew its name since before I could speak, yeah, oh
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don? t know where
They don? t know when it? s coming
Oh when it? s coming, keep the car running
If some night I don? t come home
Please don? t think I? ve left you alone
The same place animals go when they die
You can? t climb across a mountain so high
The same city where I go when I sleep
You can? t swim across a river so deep
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don? t know where
They don? t know when it? s coming
Oh when is it coming? Keep the car running
Keep the car running, keep the car running
Same old city with a different name
Men are coming to take me away
I don? t know why but I know I can? t stay
There? s a weight that? s pressing down
Late at night you can hear the sound
Even the noise you make when you sleep
Can? t swim across a river so deep
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don? t know where
They don? t know when it? s coming, when it? s coming
There? s this fear I keep so deep
Knew its name since before I could speak, yeah, oh
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don? t know where
They don? t know when it? s coming
Oh when it? s coming, keep the car running
If some night I don? t come home
Please don? t think I? ve left you alone
The same place animals go when they die
You can? t climb across a mountain so high
The same city where I go when I sleep
You can? t swim across a river so deep
They know my name 'cause I told it to them
But they don? t know where
They don? t know when it? s coming
Oh when is it coming? Keep the car running
Keep the car running, keep the car running
